Though Charles Correa was my father's cousin,

this relationship was not the only relation I admiredhim. I first met him when I was sixteen; he was alreadywell-known then, but not yet famous, and still yearsfrom acquiring the legendary halo that later came to

surroundhim. The passion and conviction with whichhe spoke about form and design awakened in myimpressionable mind a sensibility towards

architecture as a living thing that has remained withme ever since.

In those days he often visited his- and my - alms

mater, St. Xavier's College in Mumbai, and mingledwith interested groups of students there, giving freelyof his time and wisdom. Though Charles Correa is

credited with over a hundred major projects, Imention here only those which I had the pleasure tovisit myself.

Oneof his earliest buildings in Mumbai was theDadar church; after he'd done with it, nobody hadeveryseenachurch that quite looked like this one! Notall the reactions were complimentary, many found itlooking like a tandoor. Curiously, along with the KalaAkademiwhich he built in his native Goa, it was theforerunner of Bharat Bhavanin Bhopal, one of his mostacclaimed buildings- or non-building, as he liked toterm it. Unobtrusive, it is meant not to stand out butmelt into the hillside. He said he dared not completewith the beauty of the Upper Lake; and a nigglingregret of his was that the outdoor stage, which he'ddesigned to have the lake and the old city as itsbackdrop, was not used enough for publicperformances.If the SabarmatiAshram showcased hisminimaliststyle-reflecting the essence ofGandhiji-theCidadede Goahotel is perhaps the boldest example inIndia of the use of trompe l'oeil, or visual illusion inarchitecture. .

He pioneered the use of the metal pergola tolink buildings and to simultaneously keep them open-to-sky,seen in the ParyavasBhavan in Bhopal and LlCheadquarters in Delhi- a style later imitated by many.Forhim it epitomised the traditional Indian penchant

for semi-open spaces forliving and working. Alsoin Connaught Place is theiconic British Council

building, combiningtraditional Hindu andIslamic elements so

integrallyandeffortlesslyin what is a thoroughlymodern building.There isa story told about how

almost eccentrically particular Charles Correa was ingetting the specific shade of blue right for the tiles heused on the Madhya PradeshVidhan Sabhaexterior,abuilding which earned him the Aga Khan Award.

I recall watching with great puzzlement andwonder the coming up of the Kanchajjunjgaresidential tower in Mumbai during my college days.First the core, which housed the lifts, was built like atube piercing the sky and then the rest ofthe buildingwas constructed around it.

Charles Correa had a distinct signature, andthough no two of his buildings are alikeo,they are alleasily recognizable as his work. I remember visitingMauritius once, and whilst driving into Port Louisremarking that a building looked like "it was a CharlesCorrea" - indeed it was! The LlC Office! ThePermanent Mission of India in New York is a delighttowork and live in. The scintillating constellation ofbuildings that CharlesCorrea iscredited with tends tomake one forget that he was an equally great town-planner who put the poor and economically weakerclassesat the centre of his urban planning.

He is the only Indian architect to have beencommissioned to design major public buildings in fourcontinents. A grateful nation honoured himwith thePadma Shri and then the Padma Vibhushan, and he

was showered with accolades and awards by severalcountries, the Guardian of Britain called him India'sgreatest architect, but at heart he remained a simpleman, rooted in the culture of his country, which hestrove to expressthough anon-western yet modern idiom.

I .. IS BUILDING NEW CREATIVE SPACEUNIVERSITY OF

Grounded in traditional planning principles yetdisplaying the bold and a contemporary outlook of ajournalist, is designed the Makhanlal ChaturvediNational university of Journalism and Communication.Amain axis that arises in the East at the Main entrance

gate and sets in the West near the service, divides theentire campus into two main zones, the universitycampus and the other residential zone. Further to thisthree secondary axes branch out from the main axiswhich run north-south through the campus, two ofthem in the educational zone while one in the

residential area. Thestrategic location of this secondaryaxis not only gives access to most of the buildings butalso majorly restricts the access of the vehicularmovement in the campus thus generating large greenareas with walking pathways within the campus.Parkingareas inthe educational campus are located bythese secondary axes.

Theresidentialaxishas beendesignedwiththeacademic building as its focal point. This axis furtherdivides the residential zone into two. The Academic

building has been located as focal point of the majormovement axis of the students and the faculty. Theorientation of the buildingissuch that the longer facadefaces the north south direction thus restricting the heatflow into the building.The Academic block isessentiallytwo square blocksdesigned around courtyards that arefurther linked by a connector block that harbours thecommon facilities likethe canteen, recreational facilityand the museum. The connector block is flanked by alargecentral plaza which has a small reflection pool thatwould serve a pleasingview from the canteen area. Thecentral plaza is further adorned by a dramatic play oflightand shadow created bythe large pergola located atthe top of the plaza. Largeopenings have been carvedout intwo square academic modules so as to graciouslyopen up the view of the student into the central plazaduring their transitional period within the academicbuilding.The two academic square blocks also harboura small court within itself to create an interestingtransition within the module and to further improve the

micro-climate of the space. The module is designedsuch that there is a segregation of the stiJdent andfaculty areas. Aseparate entrance isalso introduced forthe faculty from the west and east end of the building.The grid planning of the module also helps take care ofthe varying requirements of each department. Thevarying requirement of the departments, instead ofbecoming a restrictive planning factor has been usedasa design advantage and has helped create a steppingeffect to the entire building atthe focal end facade.

Traditonal courtyard planning concept hasbeen adopted not onlyfor the educationalconceptonthe whole but also for each of the building block. TheLarge 13,300 sq.mt Navrishi court is flanked by theacademic buildingon the north end, the west end isthelibrary block and the east being closest to the entranceisdefned bythe Administration building.Thesouth endhas been left for future expansion thus givingtheadditional open breathing space buffer between theresidential and educational campus.

The Admin building is also designed as twosmall square modules linked by a connector opening

FOR MAKHANLAL CHATURVEDI NATIONALJOURNALISM AND COMMUNICATION

~

which opens up the visual connection of the visitor to

the nucleus ofthe campus - THE NAVRISHI COURT.Each

of the admin module is also designed around a

courtyard. The East end of the building is flanked by a

screen wall which will not only help cut off the heat but

also act as a bold facade to the entire campus which is

an essential trait required for a successful journalist.

The library building is again a composition of

two square modules connected by the grand steps

which define the entry to the library which starts at the

first level above the examination cell. The entry steps

give the required grandness to the building which is the

prime source of knowledge to the entire campus. The

east end facade with minimum openings and the west

end screen wall help to cut off the heat and also add to

the bold look of the campus.

The other buildings in the educational campusare the Auditorium and the Meditation complex. The

Auditorium and Amphitheater is located such that itwill minimise the infow of the guests into theeducational campus. The amphitheater is designedback to back to the auditorium so as to share the

common amenities such as the green rooms, toilets

etc. The Meditation complex will take the

northernmost end of the campus.

The Hostel blocks are designed around

courtyards which will also serve as social interaction

space. The west and the east facing facades will be

protected from sunlight by the single loaded corridor.The common areas are located such that they would

merge and expand with the common areas of the

future expansion block and will serve as the connector

block to the two hostel blocks. The hostel buildings are

flanked by large sports ground. The girls and boys

hostel are sufficiently separated out by these common

open spaces.

The community hall and common amenities of

the residential buildings are centrally planned. All

residential buildings are restricted to two to three

storey height and have maximised the individual home

feel rather than an apartment building concept. The

large open spaces in the centre of these buildings will

serve as the interactive spaces. As a basic.planning anddesign concept, all the courtyards planned within the

building modules will harbour a temple tree which will

not only help cool the microclimate of the space but

also aesthetically improve the experience of the space

due to the sculptural marvel of its form and the brightlycoloured flowers. And as for the elevation features,

besides the bold facades the campus adopts the

traditional building element of "Jali", which will be

essentially used on the west and east facade and will

help cut off the heat infow.

To sum it up, the traditionally grounded

planning concepts, the large breathing open spaces at

the nuclei of all zones, campus free of vehicular

movement, the bold contemporary look woven with

the traditional jali element will help create a campus

that will truly reflect the essence of a Journalism

institute, an environment giving the two lasting

bequeaths to the student, roots to hold and wings

to fly.
